Poing, Germany -- ELEKTRONIK, a German magazine and EMEA's leading technical trade publication for designer and developers, announced its TOP 10-List of Component Distributors. Congratulations to EBV, which was named by ELEKTRONIK readers Distributor of the Year in three categories within the active components segment.

Each year, ELEKTRONIK calls on its readers to evaluate the product and service offerings of component distributors. As in 2008 and 2009, EBV was the most recognized distribution specialist in EMEA in the active components segment, winning the following three categories:

• Product Availability
• Technical Competence and Support
• Overall Impression

"Being the only distributor to win three categories voted by the readers - our customers - of EMEA's leading technical trade publication is a great confirmation for our product and service offering," says Bernd Pfeil, EBV's vice president of sales and marketing in Central Europe. "It also underscores what our market share figures confirm: EBV is the clear leader in the Central European and also in EMEA semiconductor distribution."

Pfeil also takes the results as a distinction and motivation for his team. "This independent and acknowledged vote by our customers gives us a deeper impression of how they evaluate our performances in different categories like technical competence and support. We are very proud of this result and the way we represented Avnet in this competition - as the only distributor of the Avnet group to be awarded Distributor of the Year! Our customers seem to be very happy with our service, which is a great motivation to keep on providing this outstanding support."
